Ah! I saw the {1,5,7} at the end, and missed the repeating 1s on the
LHS. Thanks.
Of course, this is precisely the sort of added complexity which makes
the installation process error prone. I know the GNU Coding Standards
call for "${man1dir}", "${man2dir}", ..., but Bernd's proposed source
naming scheme lends itself to a simpler installation strategy:
mandir = @mandir@
mansectdir = ${mandir}/man`IFS=.;set -- $$page;eval 'echo $$'$$\#`
ALL_MANPAGES = foo.1 bar.5 baz.7 ...
.SUFFIXES: .man
.man:
$(FORMAT_MANPAGE) $< > $@
install-man: $(ALL_MANPAGES)
for page in $^; do \
$(INSTALL_DATA) $$page ${mansectdir}; \
done
